Problem ripping a CD in SonicStage 3.4

[allegate]

I must say this is the first problem I've had with 3.4 since installling it. The more I use the software, the more I like it. For one, it's the only program I've used so far that organizes albums the exact way I like to see them - by artist, in order of release.

anyway, here's the problem. When I try to rip the Sufjan Stevens album "Come on Feel the Illinoise!" it imports the first track and gives me two error screens (both are attached). What are these errors? Is it because the track titles are so long? or is it something else?

Is this a copy protected CD?

Try use other ripping programs like EAC or use Simple Burner instead.

It's not copy-protected as I can rip it in cdex and iTunes easily. I'll try Simple Burner and see what happens. If nothing else, I'll just have to use the mp3's and have the program convert for me. Still strange, though.

The fact that the CD can be ripped by iTunes is not conclusive enough to indicate the CD is not copy-protected. I have several EMI/Virgin European CDs that can be ripped by iTunes but not by SS. I found SB can handle such CDs much better than SS.

For better quality, you may want to rip the CD to wav to your HDD and convert them to ATRAC.

I just went with the mp3's because that was easiest for me. Thanks for the help.

Figured it out: it was the track titles. See below:

1. Concerning The UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois
2. The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But You're Gonna Have To Leave Now, Or, 'I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight...
3. Come On! Feel The Illinoise!: Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition/Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream
4. John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
5. Jacksonville
6. A Short Reprise For Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, But For Very Good Reasons    
7. Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Stepmother!
8. One Last 'Whoo-Hoo!' For The Pullman
9. Chicago
10. Casimir Pulaski Day
11. To The Workers Of The Rock River Valley Region, I Have An Idea Concerning Your Predicament
12. The Man Of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts
13. Prairie Fire That Wanders About
14. A Conjunction Of Drones Simulating The Way In Which Sufjan Stevens Has An Existential Crisis In The Great Godfrey Maze
15. The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!
16. They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh!
17. Let's Hear That String Part Again, Because I Don't Think They Heard It All The Way Out In Bushnell
18. In This Temple As In The Hearts Of Man For Whom He Saved The Earth
19. The Seer's Tower
20. The Tallest Man, The Broadest Shoulders: Part I: The Great Frontier/Part II: Come To Me Only With Playthings Now
21. Riffs And Variations On A Single Note For Jelly Roll, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Baby Dodds, And The King Of Swing, To Name A Few
22. Out Of Egypt, Into The Great Laugh Of Mankind, And I Shake The Dirt From My Sandals As I Run

There is a 250 character limit on file names (found this out when trying to import the mp3's into SS). So, I just cut the names down to something a little more manageable and voila, the CD imported.

and no, I don't know why the titles are so long.
